Thread: Comparing the old with the new.

As Scott has said, better barrel, smoother action, excellent trigger and great stock. Cost less than a Sako and shot better than most Sako's, still does.

Ok. $410 in 1976 is the equivalant of $4250.80 in todays money. If you were buying today would you spend that money on the LSA55 if you could buy a new one? Or maybe something like this which is $750 cheaper?

Also makes the one @ChrisW is selling at the moment seem like a bargin.
